Dude... lipstick on a pig is just a fuckin saying!

When Barack Obama says "it's putting lipstick on a pig" it's a fucking saying. it has nothing to do with Palin. IT'S NOT FUCKING SEXIST.

jesus have you guys heard of this shit?

was pretty ill-judged. Politicians will jump on anything.

Sure he didn't mean it about Palin, but he should have known it could be turned round like this.

yes i heard it. i thought he delivered it pretty well, but if you think its just a coincidence he used that saying, well, simply put, youre wrong. im not saying that as a supporter of mccain, because i thought it was funny. also you may have noticed that EVERY SINGLE person in the room thought it was hilarious as well.

Ya, I think its a pretty smooth jab, and something he can say is just an expression. I think its a little ironic though that McCain used the same expression when talking about Hillary Clinton's plans.

I'm not saying people who were there didn't think it was an attack on palin, they clearly did because there was that kind of "omg snappppp" noise. But come on it's a fuckin saying and it's totally relevant.

fwiw I was watching Fox news a few days ago and they had a panel talking about mccain and palin getting ahead in the polls. One conservative analyst said regarding something about the Mccain campaign (and i swear to it) "they're just sort of putting lipstick on a pig." The women were outraged omg omg that's sexist blah blah. And he responded what are you talking about it's just a saying!

Oh i wish i could find this video online.

Full quote:

“John McCain says he’s about change, too — except for economic policy, health care policy, tax policy, education policy, foreign policy and Karl Rove-style politics. That’s just calling the same thing something different.”

With a laugh, he added: “You can put lipstick on a pig; it’s still a pig. You can wrap an old fish in a piece of paper called change; it’s still going to stink after eight years.”

May have already been said above... but what does a muslim know about lipstick on a pig?

And yes, we've heard the saying before. Dressing someone up as a politician and standing them in front of people doesn't make a leader either.
